“Lesbian necromancers in space” is a hell of a way to advertise a book, and Tamsyn Muir followed through on that promise. One of the difficult things about this series is that readers tend to finish the first two books and a) obviously immediately want the not-yet-released third volume and b) want a similar series. Is there really anything quite like this ridiculous, over-the-top, queer sci fi-meets-fantasy series, though? There aren’t any exact matches, but there are some books worth reading next if you loved Gideon the Ninth. Of course, another option for if you can’t let go of the…

Darkness is a vital tool to horror. Horror and the dark are so intertwined that the idea of watching horror tends to evoke any imagery related to darkness, from night skies to pitch-black shadows. It harkens back to a primal fear that afflicts many from a young age- nyctophobia. Nyctophobia is an irrational, extreme fear of the dark, and it leaves many children clamoring for a night light. Darkness is petrifying for most because it removes all visual stimuli and triggers the imagination. Who knows what threats may be lurking in the shadows. That’s why horror thrives in it. Just…

Now streaming exclusively on HBO Max in either full color or black & white, the 4-hour “Snyder Cut” of Justice League represents director Zack Snyder‘s originally intended vision for the movie, with the additional scenes expanding upon the character work (notably, Ray Fisher‘s Cyborg), making Steppenwolf a stronger villain, and bringing Darkseid into the mix.

The scene sees Batman/Bruce Wayne having a nightmare of a demolished, post-apocalyptic Earth, with Jared Leto…

The Big Bang Theory ended on a happy note. A group of friends stayed friends and continued eating takeout. Each couple’s future looked rosy, and Raj? Raj got the short end of the stick. On a show where every other main character, even Stuart, was in a romantic relationship, ending the series with Raj single seems like a glaring oversight. Romantic happiness is not the only type of happiness. Just because someone is single doesn’t mean they aren’t living happily ever after. If Raj had gotten an “I choose me” moment or had some positive epiphany about singledom, then…
